Since 1/1/11 I have been describing what I see in the back yard. I occasionally digress.

Hazy with clouds
I left in the early morning. When I got home, there were lots of dragonflies zooming around. The only one that perched to be identified was a blue dasher. A cabbage white butterfly continued to hunt for something, maybe a cabbage? The rue attracted lots of wasps, mostly paper and thread-waisted and yellow jacket.
A brown thrasher hunted around the camellia and went back frequently to the nest. Wrens sang and occasionally one popped out of the house, but there were no chases like yesterday. The hummer came back. I saw a swift and heard more. A nursery convoy of geese went downstream with three little ones between the first adults, three larger goslings in the middle of more parents, and adults with two goslings bringing up the rear. Some kind of heron landed on the bank but all I caught was its back.
